Gallery shows all photos found by Media Scanner when you turn the phone on or restart it. Restart it and see if that adds any photos. If not, use a file manager to find the missing ones and look a) at the file names - they can't start with a dot (like .myPicture) and b) there can't be a file named .nomedia in the folder the picture file is in or in any folder above it - that tells media scanner "stop looking and go somewhere else".
